From Flesh to Data: Non-Human Intelligence and artificial Stupidity
This text explores the traditional recipe of Polbo á feira using a tentacular approach whereby three different voices reveal their intertwined perspectives on our relationship with the octopus. Beginning with an essay, the concept of intelligence is questioned within its anthropocentric understanding. An artificial intelligence adds short fragments related to the concepts explored throughout the essay. Lastly, a third participant, a young culinary blogger, introduces us to a speculative version of the recipe in which history, slow violence and tradition are foreseen from a close future in which octopuses are not hunted but raised on farms.
Composting Fields #3
Composting Fields proposes an experimental format of knowledge production whose aim is to give space to the work of young thinkers and artists. By the creation of a safe working space, it generates a collective exchange around a specific work. This process materializes in a performative video that illustrates the relationship between the thesis, the process of sharing and its links to Visual Culture.
